Cambridge 7 June 1997

Got a hole in an old log? Empty lines in your notebook? Request that missing serial here, hopefully someone can help. Requests over 6 months old only please.

Cambridge 7 June 1997

Post by slogen51 » Thu Oct 07, 2021 12:57 pm

Just spotted a gap in my log for Cambridge 7-6-1997

6 bulldogs in Cambridge
XX624/D
XX518/B

Then
Code only
S
A
C
E

I don't know what UAS they were from

Any help with the serials will be appreciated

Thanks
Mike

Based Cambridge UAS/5AEF almost certainty. No logs for that date but serials either side are consistent.

XX658/A
XX516/C
XX659/S

I have sightings of /E but no serial for some reason.

Cross-checking the RAF units' rundown in the Feb '97 and Jan '98 issues of 'BAR', these are the serials of the Cambridge UAS/5 AEF Bulldogs you listed (the a/c didn't change during the years, which helps):

XX658/A
XX518/B
XX516/C
XX624/D
XX532/E
XX659/S

Thanks for confirming my tie-ups Mustang and for filling the gap with Echo. Didn't need it but nice to complete logs.

Brilliant! Thanks for the help

I had forgotten that Bulldogs were based at Cambridge
